Rose Gets a New Outfit

After Rose had showered - and with some fascination had watched herself change back - then dried herself and got dressed, the women resumed their discussion. "I don't think I've introduced you to the others yet," Erin said. "That was remiss of me. The strawberry blonde is Natalia. She's been a Sister for only a day or two. The redhead whose clothes you're wearing is Irene. And to her left is Anastasia. In spite of the Russian sounding name, she's actually French, and she has the most extraordinary story of any of us. I don't know if Stanton told you her history?"

"No," Rose said ruefully. "He didn't really tell me much. Just that werewolves were real, that he'd acquired some blood from one, and would I be willing to be the subject of an experiment? He explained that if the experiment worked then I'd change into a werewolf last night, but he assured me that he had developed an antidote, so it would just be for that one night." "Well, I suppose it could be possible," Erin said dubiously, "but my suspicion is that he told you an outright lie in order to get you to agree to be his subject."

1. "But to lie to another Society member is totally forbidden by the rules of the Society!" Rose objected.
2. "I think that Anastasia should tell you her story, assuming she's willing," Irene said. "It will make clear much of what this is about."
